+======Python Scripting for Rhino and Grasshopper======
+|{{https://www.python.org/static/community_logos/python-logo.png?nolink}}|{{:developer:primer_python_cover.png?nolink&400}}|
+=====What is Python?=====
+Python is a modern //programming language//. It is easier to learn and use than other non-scripting style languages like VB.NET, C#, or C++. Yet it is quite powerful.
+You may need Python if you want to:
+  * Automate a repetitive task in Rhino much faster than you could do manually.
+  * Perform tasks in Rhino or Grasshopper that you don't have access to in the standard set of Rhino commands or Grasshopper components.
+  * Generate geometry using algorithms.
+  * Many, many other things. It is a programming language after all.
+=====Getting started / tutorials=====
+  * [[http://download.rhino3d.com/IronPython/5.0/RhinoPython101/|{{:developer:primer_python_cover.png?100}}]] Get the [[http://download.rhino3d.com/IronPython/5.0/RhinoPython101/|RhinoPython 101]] manual.
+  * You're not alone. You can get help at the [[http://discourse.mcneel.com/category/scripting|Rhino.Python community forum]].
+  * [[http://designalyze.com/]] - Python instructional videos.
+  * [[http://www.plethora-project.com/2011/09/12/rhino-python-tutorials/]] - Python instructional videos.
+  * You can find RhinoPython related articles on [[http://stevebaer.wordpress.com/category/python/|Steve Baer's blog]].

+  * Nature of Code Video Tutorials - [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kyi_K85Gsm4&list=PL5Up_u-XkWgP7nB7XIevMTyBCZ7pvLBGP|on YouTube]].
+=====Windows and Mac=====
+Both the Windows and Mac versions of Rhino contain support for the [[http://www.python.org|Python]] scripting language.
+Since Rhino Python scripting is available on both platforms, the same Python scripts can run on both //breeds// of Rhino!
+=====Python in Rhino resources=====
+**RhinoScript style functions** - Once you understand a bit about Python, importing the rhinoscriptsyntax module will give your Python script access to Rhino functions. This package defines a large set of functions for working with Rhino. Find more information about these functions at [[rhinoscriptsyntax]].
+**Using RhinoCommon** - Python scripts also have full access to the .NET framework including access to Rhino's RhinoCommon SDK.  A description of accessing RhinoCommon from Python scripts is at [[PythonAndRhinoCommon]].
+**Examples** - Find examples in the above [[rhinoscriptsyntax]] and [[PythonAndRhinoCommon|RhinoCommon]] pages.
+=====Questions?=====
+Visit the http://discourse.mcneel.com/category/scripting to get answers from the Rhino development team and other Rhino users with scripting experience.
+=====What about RhinoScript?=====
+Rhino already has a scripting language called [[rhinoscript|RhinoScript]]. We plan to continue supporting RhinoScript and add functions based on requests.
